Rolling Down the Road

An expressive solo that makes creative use of dynamic changes, accents, and timbre changes via interactive playing between the drum-head and the rim. Students, both young and old enjoy performing this work. Although many rudiments such as the 5, 9, and 15 stroke rolls, flams, paradiddles, flam paradiddles, and flamacues are included, this solo is more of a concert style solo than a strict rudimental solo. Students will find this solo musically and technically challenging without being overwhelmed. You will go places " Rolling Down the Road".
